You Say You Want a Revolution

“When in the course of
human events.” Thus
tolls the bell of fervent appeal, This
declaration, This new beginning, This
fledgling flight from the eagle’s nest. “We hold these truths to
be self-evident.” That
these rights be not taken by trial or ordeal. That
liberty’s grasp is secure and unending And
freedom endures when held to the test. And
if there be violence, Let there be violence. We
shall not wither though cannons may reel. For
independence is ours for the winning And
we will not settle for second-best. For
they shall not govern without our consent, Or
throttle our fervor or stifle our zeal Lest
we send them whirling, reeling and spinning With
our vigilant vigor that never will rest. No
patience for despots or tyrants or kings When
Liberty, sweet Liberty, opens her wings.
